Constipation in 6 week old?

Question

Hello, my boy is 6 weeks and breastfed only and recently he will go a whole day without a poo (plenty of farting) and then in the morning give me a beautiful nappy full of so much runny poo only a bath will sort out!
Is this normal or is he constipated?
Maybe TMI but I am suffering with a lot of wind too and just 1 poo a day! Is it something I’m eating?! All I can think is I do eat spicy food?!

Answer

Constipated is define as hard or solid poops, so as long as he is doing them then it’s on. Babies often have runny poops for first few months even my daughter did when formula fed. When I asked my mum about something similar she said bluntly to remember that their butt muscles aren’t great at a young age so some poops don’t turn up for a while 😂

Answer

The fact he’s going to the toilet means he’s not constipated I think. Babies can go days without pooing and babies who are BF usually do have a runny looking poo. 
If he goes a week without pooing then I’d go to the gp 😄

Answer

My son is breastfed and he can go days without having a poo and then BAM poo explosion it's completely normal
